Hi Ya'll,
My name is John Howerton and I design, install and maintain aquariums in Austin, TX. One of my clients (Dr. T) commissioned the largest home aquarium I've ever setup and I wanted to share the details of the system so that everyone can learn from our triumphs and inevitable failures. The display tank was manufactured by Waterdog Products and measures 15'x7'x7'.
I'm going to try and take you all step by step through our design/build stage to this point and provide all the gritty details that you'll need to think of when considering a project of this size. I also ask that while I know that this project is incredibly expensive, do not continually ask what it cost because the answer is a lot. If you have serious questions about any of the components or total project cost feel free to DM me.
I'll also try and update this thread as quickly as I can but with the power grid failure we had in Texas, I'm knee deep in rebuilds and insurance fun.
Pictures show the actual aquarium before being glassed and the very very early area where the tank will actually sit.
